Ch. 3INCOMPETENT


The princes, the princesses, and Hawk were thrown back into the tent and Hawk fell hard on the ground. The princes and the princesses help Hawk sit down properly then princesses Tracy sat down beside Hawk and suddenly hugs Hawk using only her body cause her hands where in chains while the princes and other princesses smile and sat down together. As princess Tracy was still hugging Hawk, Hawk said weakly with a smile to princess Tracy ''do you miss me?''.

''I thought you were dead'' said princess Tracy in a sad voice to Hawk.

''How could I die leaving you? You are my life and even death can't take me from you'' said Hawk weakly with a smile to princess Tracy.

Princess Tracy, the princes, and the other princesses smiled upon hearing Hawk said that. Princess Tracy pretending to be annoyed said happily to Hawk ''Don't you ever make a decision without my consent or else I will kill you myself'', then Hawk, the princes, and the other princesses smiled.

''Are you giving me an ordered of what?'' Hawk weakly asked princesses Tracy.

''I don't think that is an order but a profession of love'' said prince Redrick to Hawk, and everyone smiled then princess Tracy moved away from Hawk and went to kick prince Redrick in the leg for saying that.

Princess Tracy sat down beside Hawk and placed her head on Hawk's shoulder then Hawk asked the princes and the princesses ''how come you are all captured?''.

''Our stupid bravery and mistake made us end up here'' said prince Redrick to Hawk.

''Do you all care to explain?'' Hawk asked the princes and the princesses.

''We are here because we thought the great King's sword could kill Marcelos. So we steal the sword and came here to kill Marcelos thinking we can end everything. We did stab Marcelos with the sword but it seems we were wrong about the sword. The sword couldn't kill Marcelos and here we are'' said Noah to the Hawk.

Hawk smiled upon hearing what Noah said and asked the princes and the princesses ''and who told you that the great King's sword can kill Marcelos?''.

''Noah told us. We should have listened to Redrick then we wouldn't have been in this situation'' said princess Camelia to Hawk.

''And where do you hear about the sword, Noah?'' Hawk asked Noah.

''I heard father and uncle talking about it, and am sure it can't be a lie'' said Noah to Hawk.

''if it was truly the great King who said such thing about the sword then it is true that the sword can kill Marcelos'' said Hawk.

''Then why didn't Marcelos die when we stabbed him with the sword?'' said prince Mike.

''That is what we need to find out. And there is something about a magical sword and its owner. Something for a magical sword to activate its power it must be used by its owner, not someone else'' said Hawk.

''So you mean the reason why the sword didn't kill Marcelos is because the sword was used by someone else, not its owner'' princess Kylie asked Hawk.

''It may be because of that or something else. But for now, that is what we can come up with'' said Hawk.

''That means the sword can only kill Marcelos in the hands of the great King'' said prince Kinsley.

''I think so'' said Hawk.

''Now I get it. That was why Father said only if he could get to Marcelos and kill him then everything will end'' said Noah.

''I guess I was right all along. We should have thought about everything very carefully and why the great King hid the existence of the sword before acting'' said prince Redrick.

''I don't think we should worry about the great King's sword right now. Am sure we all saw the great King which means we all know he is very angry. I think we should be worried about the great King's anger'' said princess Tracy.

''Not only that. The great King also knows about the duplicate sword making him throw it at us which thrust the ground in front of us which means we are all in serious trouble once we get back to Axrax'' said princess Camelia.

''We should also be worried if the great King will get through the deal 'cause we are all at fault. We committed a grave sin that has cost us Ramsay'' said Noah.

''Don't worry his royal majesty will not abandon you'' said Hawk to the princes and the princesses.

''We came here to end everything but we only made it much worst. We failed our parents and everyone'' said prince Kinsley with sadness.

''Since it happened, it was destined to happen as the love of my life always says. So we should all forget about it'' said prince Redrick with a smile, and they all smiled when Redrick talk about the love of his life.

"Am guessing Marcelos has the sword now?" asked Hawk.

"Yes. He took the sword from Noah knowing it can kill him. Am guessing he is trying to find out about the sword" said prince Mike.

"Let's pray he doesn't find that out and get the sword back before he finds out about the sword" said Hawk.

"We will be getting the sword back tomorrow if the great King decided to save us but for now am curious about Hawk" said prince Redrick.

''Curious about me?'' asked Hawk confused.

''Yes. We thought you were dead, so how come you are still alive? We all want to know what happened and how come you are still alive'' said princess Tracy said to Hawk.

Marcelos had been trying to find out if the sword he seized from Noah had some hidden magic in it but couldn't find any traces of magic in the sword. Marcelos even called Zussorader and Philip to help with their magic in finding the magic that might be in the sword but they couldn't find any magic in the sword saying the sword is an ordinary sword. Even though they could find any trace of magic in the sword, Marcelos still believes that the sword can't be an ordinary sword if the princes and the princesses believe the sword can kill him. And again, the great King demanded that the princes and the princesses must return with their weapons which means the great King also want the sword back. Marcelos decided not
to stop during spells to find out if the sword is a magical sword or not, or what makes the sword special that the princes and princesses thought that the sword can kill him, before the next day of the bargain.

The general and some of the soldiers on duty at the west gate on the night the princes and princesses sneaked out of the palace, kneel in the middle of the council hall bowing their heads and scared of what the council members and the great King might decide to do with them concerning what happened as the council members stood in their position annoyed at the situation except the great King that was sited on his throne and furious thinking about what to do. The prime minister said to the general and soldiers on their knees ''how could you call yourself a general and soldiers and didn't know how the princes and the princesses sneak out the Kingdom through the gate you were guarding?''.

''We are sorry'' said the general on his knees.

''Sorry? You are sorry? Why couldn't you prevent the kids from sneaking out of the kingdom? What the hell is it that you were doing that you didn't know when the princes and the princesses climbed the wall down with the ropes?'' said King Michel out loud in anger to the general, making the general and the soldiers on their
knees flinched in fear.

The general and soldiers on their knees couldn't say anything to justify themselves cause they know they were at fault. The minister for war said to the general and soldiers on their knees ''If the princes and the princesses could easily sneak out of the kingdom when you are on duty then Marcelos could easily breach the gate if you are on duty. You call yourself general and soldiers but you lack at your job, aren't you a shame of that shame?''.

"We are. We are deeply sorry about what happened and promise it won't happen again" said the general on his knees.

''I wondered what you generals and soldiers do nowadays that you are incompetent at your job'' said the minister for health.

Hearing that sparked anger in the supreme general, the head generals, and the other generals. The supreme general said to the minister for health ''what do you mean by what do we do nowadays? Are you trying to make us feel less or what?''.

''The minister is not truly wrong. Your incompetence is why we are losing the war and everything'' said the minister for information to the generals.

Hearing that made the generals angrier and more annoyed. General Lancelot said to the ministers ''incompetence? How dare you say that? We fought
every day to keep you and your families alive and what do you do while we fight and die with our lives? You are either at home having sex with your wives or playing with your children. How dare you say we are incompetent when none of your children are part of the army''.

Hearing that also made the ministers angrier and more annoyed. The prime minister said to the generals ''How dare you speak to us in such a way? Truth be told, you and the soldiers are all the worst. We lost the kingdoms and a lot of lives because of your incompetence. And am sure the princes and the princesses were only able to sneak out because they were sleeping on duty. A general and soldiers asleep on duty how shameful of you all''.

''You all should calm down and stop this. Don't forget you are in front of his royal majesty'' said lord Emmanuel to the ministers and the generals.

''You want us to stop this then the ministers should know their place'' said General Mark to lord Emmanuel.

''You should be the ones to know your place, not us because we are superior to you in this kingdom, and the general and the soldiers must be greatly
punish for lacking at their job'' said the vice prime minister to the generals.

''Since you claim yourself to be superior, why don't you just take the weapons and go battle against Marcelos and his armies? I mean it is the job of the superior to take care of the younger ones. You ministers are all stupid idiots. We lay down our lives to protect you when all you know how to do is to talk, talk, and talk. Always ranting with no action like a dog that barks when it lost its owner'' said the supreme general to the ministers.

Hearing that made all the ministers furious and the ministers wanted to go attacked the generals but the head wizards stood in front of the minister stopping them from continuing to move forward then General Aiden said to the ministers ''let them come to receive the best beating they have never received in their
lives''.

Hearing that made the minister push the head wizards out of their way and they attacked the generals and it was too late to prevent the fight between the ministers and the generals. The Kings, head wizards, lord Emmanuel, and Zussorender try to stop the fighting, and the soldiers and the general on their knees were also attacked by the ministers. While some were trying to stop the fight and some continue fighting, King Raynold was lost in thought not minding what was happening.
